Notes
[‘If the mixture seems dry, add more broth a tablespoon at a time until it holds together.’, ‘Use a cookie scoop for uniform balls to ensure even cooking.’, ‘Leave space between each stuffing ball on the baking sheet to allow crisping.’, ‘For added flavor, mix in poultry seasoning or fresh herbs like sage or thyme.’]
